Item Description
Ludlamite from this locale is world-known as among the best crystals of the species and this is an excellent example. Gemmy and lustrous green crystals cover the sulfide-rich matrix, but the stunning highlight is the 1.0 cm, sharp, apple-green, tabular crystal with a beautiful stepped-growth face. Outstanding quality from the 1950s and 60s finds. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. these are rare things today, and always valued on the market more than Bolivian material, which is of different crystal habit. valued $400
